Xeon E5-2687W vs Ryzen 5 5500H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Xeon E5-2687W performs better than the Ryzen 5 5500H. Despite this, the Ryzen 5 5500H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2687W has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Ryzen 5 5500H that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Ryzen 5 5500H. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2687W. Also, the Ryzen 5 5500H has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Ryzen 5 5500H outputs less heat than Xeon E5-2687W thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Xeon E5-2687W also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Xeon E5-2687W has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
